USAFA Parkas

The contract involves the procurement of men's and women's parkas for the U.S. Air Force Academy, with a focus on fulfilling cadet uniform requirements. It is structured as a sole-source, firm fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded to SAWASAWA, LLC, which is recognized as a small, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business under NAICS code 315250. The contract covers a base year with four optional renewal years, aiming to deliver approximately 800 men's and 400 women's parkas annually, totaling around 4,800 units over the contract period. The procurement emphasizes compliance with a specific specification, SPEC 325-200814-PKA-COMBINED, which details design, materials, and performance standards for the parkas. Delivery and packaging requirements are governed by this specification, including labeling and bar-coding standards, though detailed procedures are not explicitly provided. The acquisition is justified as sole-source due to the incumbent contractor’s proven capability and the need to meet an accelerated delivery schedule resulting from prior government shutdown impacts. The contract incorporates relevant FAR clauses, notably FAR 52.212-1 and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), current through FAC 2025-06, and emphasizes compliance with small business program requirements, including affirmations of EDWOSB status. The solicitation specifies that proposals must be submitted via email by late November 2025, with no formal list of attachments or detailed evaluation criteria provided, reflecting the non-competitive nature of the award. Overall, the contract aims to ensure timely delivery of standardized, specification-compliant parkas to support the cadet uniform program at the USAFA.
